from n to r to the point W by the same maxim. On the parallel e surface G the part

APPLICATION of the above MAXIMS.

( SHADOWS- No. 1. The San in the plane of the Picture.)

Tn this the sun's rays will be parallel to each, other and to the rising line of the sun's
elevation; which is marked on the plate, as well its the vanishing lines ot the different sur-
faces. The receeding lines of the beam on the wall (marked 1) tend to the vanishing
point V2-. To find its shadow on the wall draw the ray of the sun from V2 until it inter-

The upper bar of the lamp (marked 2) has the same vanishing point, and therefore its
shadow on the wall and on the side of the sentry box, tends also from the point Umbra D

The post (marked) 4 has its upright lines in planes parallel to the picture and therefore
